hi there
does anyone know for certain that vets get kickbacks on certain types of food or pet insurance they push? I've read some stories on here that are awfully concerning, and I too have had my vet be very insistent on a prescription diet despite the dermatologist vet begging to differ. ultimately I went with the Derm recommendation cause well, they're the specialist, they would know better/more if its in their "speciality" (plus he said some stuff where the internet was able to back him up, but not so much what my PCP vet). I'm mostly asking out of curiosity, and to know when/if to proceed with caution when I'm getting "vet recommendations".
